Santa Lucia. ( Castries )
Lunedì 11/01
Sbarchiamo subito tra i primi, alle 8.15
Avevo prenotato da casa con un tour operator locale.
Appena scesi vediamo colui che sarà la nostra guida per l' intera giornata con un bel cartello in mano con il nome della sua Agenzia.
Puntualissimi alle 8.20 ci presentiamo e ci conferma che siamo sulla sua lista.
Sulla nave abbiamo conosciuto una simpaticissima coppia al tavolo con noi.
La sera ci avevano chiesto se potevano unirsi nell'escursione.
Fortunatamente avevano ancora un paio di posti liberi.
E così via .... si parte !!!!!!
di seguito la spiegazione del tour.....confermo di aver visto tutto quello che prometteva...ed è durato quasi 8 ore
The tour is 5 - 6 hours. You only pay cash (USD) at the completion of the tour.Confirmation reply required.
We will be stopping every 10 mins for your "wow" photo moments. Entrance fees to the waterfall, volcano and water taxi is included in the price.
We will be visiting the banana plantation where you will learn about the bananas growth and taste them, then we head down to the fishing villages (Anse La Raye and Canaries), also Marigot Bay where the movie Dr. Doolittle was filmed.
Then we will be stopping for breakfast where you can sample the local fish cakes, johnny cakes, coconut cakes, and a variety of local fruits from the Island. We will be having a mobile bar with rum punch, water, local beer and sodas. You will also get to sample locally made spice rum. All eats and drinks are complimentary.
Then we head down to Soufriere where you will have an overlook of the pitons. Then to the only drive-in volcano in the world, there you will be getting an informative guide to show you around and give you a brief history of the place. At the volcano you can also take a dip in the mud bath and feel relaxed and rejuvenated.
From the volcano we will be going to the Toraille Waterfall where you can stand under the cascading water.
Then to the Sugar Beach (formerly called Jalousie Beach) which is located between the piton for swimming and snorkeling, where we will be taking the water taxi and you will enjoy unbelievable views of the coast. Please bring along your snorkeling gears. It is also available for rental.
On the way back to the north we will be stopping for the best local hot bread and cheese. Our last stop will be 5 mins. drive from Castries where you can do all your shopping for local souvenirs to take back home.
Bring along your camera an towels. Because of the small changing room at the beach you can wear your swimsuit under your garment to save time.
